I’ve been talking to someone sitting at the negotiation table. The Whitecaps want Cordova to come in on trial before they agree to the deal, and both Huachipato and Cordova’s camp think it’s a ridiculous request. If the Caps don’t pull it off the table then no deal is going to happen.

It is ridiculous: you never see a player under contract trialling with a potential buyer. What happens if he is injured training? It is ridiculous, I agree with the Chileans.

Do your damn scouting, talk to the player if his club allows you, study how he plays all you want. Then decide. Like big boys.

Whitecaps are so damn amateur at times it's frustrating.

Didn't they just loan Blondell to Huachipato, wouldn't that be part of the deal in fact?

Cordova made this week's Chilean Primera Division team of the week. Good to see him rounding into form, given our lack of FB depth, he should certainly be a part of the 40 man Gold Cup squad, at the very least.

Just so I know the deal - he can play either full back position, is playing really well in thew Chilean top flight, has repped us (and Chile) at youth level, and got called up to our senior squad for a friendly against Curacao (and is thus still uncapped).

With our very limited options at LB, this seems like a worthy call-up for the GC, no? MAK and Davies can play there, but both seem to be stronger in other parts of the pitch.
